Another question. Do most/some folks add more velcro to the cargo liners for extra grip to the carpet?

So, I got mine as part of my purchase and they installed them - is it on your window sticker or a separate line item on the order? If it’s part of the window sticker they will install and you do NOT get carpet ones (they don’t ship them with it) as a backup set. If it’s an extra line item added after arrival then you should get the carpet as backups. Just FYI. I would let them install, it’s not complicated but it doesn’t hurt either.
Do you have the vehicle already?

yes, I already have the vehicle. I negotiated the instaled mats in the purchase price. But when the mats came in, it was going to be a week before they could install them as the service dept is backed up... So I did it myself last night. It took 20 min easy peasy, but I do think I need extra velcro on the back on the third row seat backs to hold them on..
Nice! I'm thinking of putting double sided carpet tape for my back mat. I do really love the mats overall though!!

I have a little concern about adding tape or more velcro. It is nice to be able to remove the mats for cleaning. If you have a bunch of tape or velcro, every time you remove the mats you will be pulling up some of the carpet..

The only place i used velcro is in the back floor liner in cargo area. I have yet had a need to pull the mat off. I have cleaned up the inside several times the cargo area keeps clean underneath them. Even the other floor mats has done well keeping dirt and debris from getting under them. Yes Velcro can pull at the carpet, but it n my use case if i pull the mats off once a year, and then out them back when done cleaning then the carpet pull isnt a big deal as if\when i sell this vehicle in 9 or 10 years the mats will go with the vehicle as they wont fit elsewhere.
Wife's denali has the gm mats; the cargo area mats are nearly useless for 2 reasons:
1) doesn't stay attached to the 3rd row seat back
2) when laid down you can't slide a heavy object from the back to the front (loading large suitcases for example) as the suitcase catches the hinge part of the mat and you can't slide it over the hinge (sliding back to front, front to back is fine)
dealer installed and have reinstalled twice; have since given up on the rear cargo mat

I haven't yet, but I guess you're trading one annoying thing for another - either they stick but are harder to clean under or they don't stick but slide all over in use and can be clean under
I'm not sure what I'll decide, it's too bad they don't fit more snug (I heard older models did). I like how the 2nd and 3rd row ones lock into each other.

If you are hauling something that you think will damage/stain the seat backs, flip them up so they are not exposed...then the floor liner that is under the seat will handle the issue for you.
My only issue with the Weathertech cargo liner is that I have to choose which configuration I want. Most of the time the third row will be flat, but there will be times when we use the third row. If I buy the liner that covers the cargo are with the third row flat it will not work when I need to use the third row which will end up being a huge pain in the ass. I like that the OEM cargo liner addresses this issue have read that the quality is lacking. Are there any other manufacturers that address this issue?
